Baconton Items.
Since the contest perhaps,
it is best that Baconton adopt a

Baconton ! Rah ! Don’t you C ?
Baconton here ! Baconton there !
Bacouton’s influence everywhere!
Such an influenoe—good, of
course. But didn’t we come out

for Baconton!

Medical men say that those
who do much walking do not get
appendicitis. This, adds the
Baltimore American, may be due
to the beneficial effects of the ex
ereise, or it may be due tp
fact that a person so poor as to be
compelled to walk can’t afford an
operation.—Blakely Reporter.
There is no danger, Jack, of
you and I or any other country
editor being bothered thus.
